Is being uninformed suspicious?

Yes. You’re starting to get it. Being willfully uninformed and forcefully pushing that uninformed view in an organized way is suspicious. Ergo the comparison to the Maga’s and anti-vaxxers. 🤦

Easy one. You’re uninformed

dO yOur OwN rEseArcH

You sound just like every other idiot that says that. Trumpers, anti-vaxxers and the like. If you have to look around for yOur Own rEsEaRcH that lines up with what you want it to say, it’s because it’s not based in facts. You guys seem to honestly think you sound smart…smh

Bout to do the same

Yea, it feels like 4chan suddenly saw the light and then turned far-left all at once

Exactly this. They’re running around spewing barely-sensical insults acting like they’re dunking on people, but all their really doing is turning off anyone who was ever possibly sympathetic to their cause. And are completely un-informed on top of that

They’re laughable. I’ve gotten like 30 replies to 1 comment and then they say “You seem mad” Yes…I’m the mad one. 🙄

It would appear that way yes…and as mentioned, they have a history of having extremely thin skin and doing exactly that. So do I expect some group to do the exact thing they have always done? Yes. Yes I do.

You’re the only one who has brought up race and are speculating what mine must be. I’m not the racist one in this conversation and I’m not the reddit-y one either. I’m not a refugee, I left that shitty site years ago bot.

Anyone with half a brain can see what’s going on. I’m not playing these silly obfuscation games. You’re bad at what you do.

No it’s when there’s mysteriously dozens of comments just magically showing up that are contrary to the vastly popular opinion on only one contentious issue, that serve the best interests of an entity with the time, resources to try to sway public opinion through fake grassroots posting. Also that entity has a fragile ego and a long history of online manipulation…oh and also coincidentally they are all coming from the same server

Possibly, I didn’t look where they’re all from, nor do I know what hexbear is or why it’s significant. Sounds like some kind of intra-Lemmy drama which I’m not too interested in. Just noticed a fair amount, lets say…not totally organic, seemingly agenda pushing comments.

Edit: Forget my previous comment. I now see the problem with Hexbear.

Tencent owns sizeable pieces (and outright owns) of more companies than you can imagine.

Lots of suspicious comments in this thread. Seems like political astro-turfing has already arrived on Lemmy

I didn’t differentiate so I don’t see how that’s relevant. My comment stands either way even if I did.

Who cares? As liberal I’m sick of the mellow-dramatic outrage culture. People aren’t perfect. Who knew? If you don’t use brave what’s the alternative? Google, who is much worse? Maybe “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” and stop using the lefts social capital to alien people over small personal gripes.

I notice people who write these types of articles never open themselves to the same sort of scrutiny.

I saw some not long after replying to you. I still feel like it’s way less than people talk about though.

I’ve literally never once seen porn on Lemmy despite everyone constantly talking about it.

A lot of the moderators are/were quite abusive and unbalanced in the way they handled their unearned “power.” Not only do a lot of the users not care, many are probably happy about it in the same way many of you were happy when subs were banned and those users left reddit. Reddit has been terrible for years now. The users who are currently leaving due to moral issues with the site are the same users that constantly have moral issues with everything and constantly complain about everything and try to police everyone else. While I no ;onger like reddit and will be happy to see it fail, I can’t see the removal of long term moderators and the mass migration of the loudest complainers of the site as anything but a positive for the overall experience of the average user there over the long-term. It’s inconvenient now, but that will not last. When things resettle without legacy powermods and the overwhelming voice of the pearl-clutching, concern-troll users…I can’t see that as being anything but a net gain for the average user. So not only do they not give a fuck, but to the extent they do, they’re probably quite happy to have you gone.

There have been multiple mass migrations away from reddit at this point. The site keeps going, the people still there are glad the others left, and those leaving are the only ones who view their departure as a significant event.

I’m honestly quite happy mods are being removed. Reddit has had major problems for years and their moderators are HUGE part of it. The sooner the old mods go the better. I bet OP has removed hundreds or even thousands of posts and users with impunity and no second thoughts. They are only upset now that the same treatment they have given out so freely has now happened to them. It’s really poetic justice in my opinion.
